    Well, I did that, I spent a lot of time in the dentist chair getting all fixed up, so fear and pain aren’t really a factor. Shame, sure, I neglected them again due to depression and whatever cocktail of mental health problems I have, they were kinda messed up from the start and I never got braces. I have a partial denture in front so I don’t think that particular thing could happen to me but that’s scary. I’ve been taking regular care of whats left so idk, when I get insurance again I’ll have to see.
